FEMALE 111SVONS. 1 ......... % 1 I EXTRACTED FROM " LA BELLE ASSEI . T.BLEE; OR, FELL'S ; COURT AND FASHIONABLE MAGAZINE," FOR THE ?RE ! SENT MONTH. ! • 1 - Although it is as yet considered too early for fashion to assume a determined charader, yet niany seasonable changes have taken place in the several degrees of female attire, and these we shall delineate with our accustomed fidelity.— Pelisses and mantl es o f ti ne Vi gon ia cloth (an eleeant aced entirely need emanuladere of Spanish wool), kerseymere, and double twilled figured s a r snet , are now introduced as ap propriate and seasonable articles;. and will probably blend' with the velvet, which is generally distingutshable during the winter months, and whose richness, warmth, and beauty must ever 'render • it an article of much popular elegance.— There is at present little of novelty in the construction of mantles and pelisses ; . we shall, however, ',take - care to men tion not only what is at this time ,considered most genteel and new, but shall notice also such • aseare likely to ne in fashionable request during the winter. the simple wrap pelisse will, from it ease and minty, be long ere it is exploded. The cardinal, or rustic mantle, re- Commends itself also from its convenience and warmth, and from the graceful negligence of its folds, when wrapt round the figure. The Pilgrim'S cloak and bonnet, formed of a russet brown cloth, or morone kersseymere, comprises much ingenuity in its. construdion, and is well calculated to dis play to advantange a tall and graceful figure; but the most novel article in this line is a plain coat of Vigonia cloth, of a pale olive or bright green. This coat is made to sit close to the fOrm, without any seam or opening iii front ; it buttons on one shoulder, something like the high robe morning - dress ; but this jundion, however, is hid by a short mantle of the complete Spanish form, which flows gracefully over the back, inclining towards that shoulder where the coat is fas tened, but will wrap at , pleasure round the form, and thus secure the chest from cold. In carriages this mantle is sometimes wrought in a border of shaded chenille of well-, Contrasted lines; in general, however, it is edged with a large silk cold or chain, the same colour as the coat and mantle. As the winter advances, these trimmings will doubtless give place to that of the more appropriate fur. Large India shawls, or scarfs tastefully wrapt round the figure, are seen amidst the above.mentionedout-door habili ments, while those of fine Spanish silk are allowed to Wien a' most graceful appendage to the evening petty. We must, however, here remark, that much taste is required to produce that unstudied and gracetul negligence winch alone can.rell-. der these ornaments advantageous :o the wearers. Coloured and white nwslrns, together with snot or figured sarsnet India shawl robes, with those of gossamer satin, now constitute the several style of gowns ; but these !will doubt.' less soon give place, in some degree, to those famed of vel vet, Georgian or Vigonia cloth, which latter article will - most probably become a reigineg favourite during the win -ter; in softness and warmth it reeenuales the texture of the elndian shawl ; and its graceful pildbillty,'ClS it - waves round 'the figure, must- render it a most becoming and acceptable article tier train robes, which are ;low very generally attack.. ed to the evening or full dress, _Plain scarf's, faucitully dis posed, or shint tunics to fit the form, and worn over white crape, lend, or muslin round gowns, have a very animated and pleasing effect, and add to the gay variety which distin guishes the evening party. The bosoms of robes now admit a great variety in their construction; some are- formed in horizontal flutings or otheis with the peaked • stomacher, somewhat like those a' the ancients, but not of such glitierieg attraction. The plain robed bias, or wrap front, is now more generally edged with e full chain, most cur'iou'sly constructed, of the same material as the robe but those females to %%horn na ture has dispensed a fell bust, will do well to reject this re- I dundant ornarrient, and substitute a less obtruding finish - • such as the simple cord, Indian ribband, Turkish chain of • silver, or narrow border of tambour. - Caps variously consttnete. , , either of lace, or muslin and . needlework, with lace beaoing, generally form a part of the' morning dress, and indeed many appear in these fernmind ornaments at dinner and evening parties; but when worn on. these occasions the formation must necessarily be more light and tancitui. The stray. b , nnet, of the close cottage or mountain form, trimmed with narrow bands and bows of bright morone, or amber coloured ribband, are adopted as an appropriate shelter tor our fair pedestrians at this season ; and indeed so:ne tew large Gipsy hats with flat crowns; and. full edges of fancy floss, tied across with coloured handker chiefs of silk, intermingled with the gay diversity - which mark's the multitude at this unsettled season. Fur caps are introduced at many of our fashionable marts, but they are certainly 415 article by far too early displayert,,and only aairspt ed for tn.. winter Months ; when they may not Only be colt sidered as appropriate and seasonable, but stylish and be coming. Except in full dress, gloves are left entirely to individual choice ; but pale colours in French kid, we think, have late ly succeeded to the York tan and Lirnetic of universal adop tion. The most fashionable colours ;or the season are bright paorone and amber spots. grass-green, purple, and scarlet. COURT OF INQUIRY. We have already stated, that the proceedings by a Court of Inquiry on the merits of the Convention of Cintra, will be in conformity to the precedents esta- Wished in the cass of Sir J. MORDAUNT and Sir J. Cops. A Court of Inquiry is not fettered by form, and its powers baYe a very general range. A Court Martial, it is understood, would have been preferred by Sir Haw DALRYMPLE; but as the conduct of other Officers also was involved, a Court of In-; . quiry has born judged necessary in' the first stance, to ascertain for what portion of the trans adions, remotely or immediately connected with the Convention, each individual was responsible. It will depend upon . the Report of the Court of In quiry, whether a Court Martial will follow. The Court of Inquiry can call for persons and papers, and examine ev►dence as a Court Martial, but it does not examine upon oath—With this differ ence only, it is a sort of Military Grand Jury, that either finds or rejects grounds of charge.— It cannot itself pronounce any judgment. It can only say whether there is ground to institute a Court Martial or not. If a Couit Martial should be recom mended upon the terms of the Convention, Sir liEw DALRYMPLE 'is the only person who can be called before that Court. Military jurisdiction admits of no immediate responsibility except in the Commander in chief. Inferior Officers are responsible • only as hav;ng failed to execute his orders. But as there were three separate periods in which Sir A. WEL-. LESLEY, S:r H. BURRARD, and Sir H. DALRYMPLE, held the chief command, and in which the whole responsibility attaches to each of the three individuals, the Court will inquire whether there was in the con dud of Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY, or in the circum stances of the army previous to the arrival of Sir H. BURRARD on the field, on the 21st day of August, any thing that could have rendered such a Conven tion as that which has been made eligible or neces sary. The condu& of Sir H. BURRARD during the very short, but very important period of his command, will be investigated on the same principles. The general circumstances of the army, and the state of the enemy, will be particularly considered; and the first point to be asceitained will of course be, whether under all the circumstances, the Convention was or was not a desirable or a necessary measure. The Court will sit at Chelsea, and not at the Horse Guards, as has been reported. Sir H. BURRARD is, we understand, re-called. The accounts from Lisbon state, that Sir C. COTTON is coming home with a view to this particular objeSt. Col. MURR AY , who signed the Convention, arrived last week. - Thus all the persons who were in any way concerned in the' transadtion will be in England in a few days, to explain and to answer for their respective shares in it. Bread was to-day ordered to be raised one puny per peck. ALARMING DISTURPJACES AT OPORTO.

(PRIVATE LETTER.) OPORTO, OCT. 13, 1808, AT NICHT.—W e haVe had, since Monday lest, a kind of second re-, volution, which was occasioned by the arrival of the, French troops from Almeida, under an escort of 240 men of the 6th British , Regiment. They arrived 'at Caies Dirovo, below Massarallos, on Sunday morn ing ; but the sick, about 250 in. number, came down froth pezo da Regoa; in four Boats, underese guard of British soldiers, and arrived - on Saturday morning. This, as you may suppose, -attracted a great crowd on. the bridge, and that day the People began to be dissatisfied. These were carried doWn to the .Castle at St. John's, and things rerniiined pretty quiet until. the .Mou r day morning, • although; all Sunday, the people went to see those that v:.ers) at Caies Novo, and continued so all night long, which they employed in buying all kind of things horn the French, who sold many fine horsea, ocivery cheap. On the Monday mor n i ng ear ly, t h e y were Arens barked on board astir Transports, that had arrived, the day before ,froni Lisbon, and' were laying at Massarallos with their baggage, arms aed ammuni tion. This only tended to inflame the Minds of the Portuguese Mob, and they kept murmuring :ill day long. y It was not until the evening, aboutseven` o'clock, when the bells' in the city,' and round it, gave the alafm, that people oleve - ry description, apd from all, parts, came dosen to IVlassaiailes, lined the shore oar both sides the river, some armed with guns, Some with swords, and others with sticks, &c. should tell you, before I prOsieed any farther, that during the Monday, Sir Roemer yrusolg, with the Quarter-Master-General, who came down with the French from Almeida, 'and several other Offic ers , went down to the Castle to have the baggage that was there examined by them and the Governor BAR MUNDO. Accordingly, every thing was going on well, when they opened a box, which they found contained several rich vestments of the Portuguese Priests., This was 'enough to increase the dissatisfac tion of the Governor, and be instantly gave orders that no Vessel should be allowed to pass the Castle, or if. they attempted to' get out, to sink them. Every gun in the Castle, was loaded with ahot, and re mains so to this. moment.- The'people of St. John's soot) heightened the story, and said that diamonds, sacraments, and church plate, bad been found, with many other' things.' This soon reached Oporto, and the mob, without listening to any thing that could' he said to them, went down, and insisted upon kill ing the French in the Castle. Some of the English soldiers who were on guard at St. John's, were at tacked by the mob, but nothing of consequence hap pened. The Portuguese troops were all out, and the Bishop was obliged to go down to ,St. John's, where he succeeded in quieting the Povo, and about eight o'clock in the evening he returned to Oporto, ac companied by , Sir ROBERT,, and several other Officers, English and PortugUese, amidst the cries of Vi va o Bispo, destru&ion to the Regency of- Lis- • bon—the Bishop' must be Viceroy.", They, how ever, continued all,night on both sides the river, and waited with patience until yesterday morning, when, by seven o'clock, there were more than four thou sand persons of all descriptions assembled, who ap peared determined to attack the French that were on board the transports. Every preparation was made ; several pieces of artillery were drawn up on both sides, and they had mounted 20 guns onboard of each of three Brazil ship's that were laying opposite the transports: Every moment increased the storm, and the French, who were preparing to meet the attack, were all provided with sixty rßunds each man, and determined to defend themselves. The wish of the Povo it was impoSsible to know, but it generally appeared that they wanted to destroy them all. About nine o'clock, the Bishop came down in a barge, with Sir .110B:LIZT Wit;soS:, who was inde fatigable .on the occasion: Much praise is due`to him for his exertions, to which we are indebted for things not having taken a more serious turn. The mob would not hear any thing. They wanted the Frenchmen's arms and baggage; and reproached the English with not assisting them.

As soon as this was perfed;y understood, barged from all parts went to board the Transports, but they took care to begin, by the three that were not armed ; for one has six 6-pounders, which the French have kept loaded since the beginning of this affair. They took every thing out of the Transports, even the provisions and wearing apparel of the Ships! Owners ; every thing was brought ashore e and in a short time every thing disappeared. The French men were landed, and are now at a warehouse next to those of Wine Company et Massaralos. By this time it was almost dark,.and the armed Trans port remained unmolested. ' There are on board of this about 300 French, *ho have since remained on board ; the others, are guarded by our troops, and some Portuguese cavalry, to prevent the mob from destrOying them. We do not know what had pass ed between the Bishop and Sir ROBERT WILSON ; but the Portuguese seem to be ashamed of their condud=eand it is evident _that their object was no other than pleeder. To this day tijings remain unsettled,' and God only knows how they will'end.7'. SPORTING, INTELLIGENCE, NEWMAitKET . 'i'r-liR;:. roilEß i!Ap; ; O...le 0., OCT. 3 1 . .., , ...
